Bringing disabled women and gender diverse people together,
mobilising and sharing through lived experiences

Sisters of Frida CIC is an experimental collective of disabled women and gender-diverse people. We want a new way of sharing experiences, mutual support and relationships with different networks.

Sisters of Frida started at a meeting when we floated the idea of having a disabled women’s group (cis, trans and non-binary inclusive). It took some time to come together – the co founders were Eleanor Lisney, Michelle Daley, Eleanor Firman, Maria Zedda, Svetlana Kotova, Frieda Van De Poll and Martine Miel. We became a CIC in 2014.

We are seeking to build a/or different networks of disabled women and gender-diverse people.  The barriers and multiple discrimination have not changed, we struggle to have our voices heard as disabled women and gender-diverse people in our own rights.

We would like a community, a circle of disabled women and gender-diverse people to discuss, share experiences and explore intersectional possibilities.
